We Are Always Collecting Food

Local food pantries are struggling to meet demand. We're always collecting food in the Atrium for the Center for Food Action in Mahwah. Please click here to see which items are most urgently needed now.

Coats and Jackets Wanted

We are still collecting for children and adults. Donations will be given to CUMAC (Center of United Methodist Aid to the Community) in Paterson.

New Toiletries are needed for Center for Hope and Safety (formerly Shelter our Sisters), New Jersey's leading full-service 501(c)3 agency for victims of domestic violence. Those small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body and hand lotion and bars of soap from hotels are great! New cosmetic or toiletry bags are needed as well. Bring donations to the Barnert Temple Atrium.

Rabbinic Transition

L’dor v’dor, generation to generation.

For 168 years, Barnert Temple has been making a significant difference in the lives of its members, the community it serves and the world beyond its doors. As we look toward Rabbi Frishman’s retirement and look ahead to a new rabbinic leader, we ask: What will this transition mean for each of us? How will it affect our congregation? What will Barnert Temple look like in the coming years? We want you to help shape Barnert Temple’s future by joining our thoughtful and dynamic conversation. You are invited to participate in our Rabbinic Transition Process.
